The Blades are down, and the penny has finally dropped with them.

And Sir Alex Ferguson has insisted Gabriel Heinze can still have a future at Manchester United even if the Premier League reject his proposed move to Liverpool.

Newcastle target Heinze has a letter he believes entitles him to join the Anfield club, who have matched United's stipulated desire for a £6.8million transfer fee.

Yet, despite his stated desire to join the Red Devils' fierce north-west rivals, Ferguson does not believe there will be a problem with Heinze turning out for United again.

Ferguson: "Nothing has moved as far as Gaby is concerned. We have a meeting on August 20 which will settle the issue once and for all.

"We think our case is strong and we are depending on that.

"And, if it goes our way, Gaby definitely has a future here. He still has another two years left on his contract."
